• Prepare technical summaries, reports, and presentations that clearly communicate methods and results.
• Create, set up, and run finite element models: geometry prep, mesh generation, boundary conditions, solution parameters, model execution, and post-processing.
• Apply foundational engineering principles and follow established mechanical engineering processes and procedures.
• Contribute to multi-discipline team efforts and project/program milestones under the general guidance of supervisors and team leads.
• Use common office/presentation tools (Microsoft Office or equivalents) to package deliverables for stakeholders.
